gLam it up with rhonna designs

 

Once upon a

Christmas…

glitter lights, decorations, gifts

it is just time to step into the

deck the halls with boughs of holly

fa,la,la,la,la,la,la

gotta capture that magic

'tis the season to be jolly

fa,la,la,la,la,la,la

 

hosted several dinners at home prior to Christmas…

so for the special evening on Christmas eve, I wanted

to make sure to have a quiet and intimate dinner

with close friends.

sparkly decorated the table …

champagne bottle ready to burst upon the arrival of the guests …

well prepared nibbles and festive yums …

menu and small token to take home …

and finally

a personalized Guestbook for the special evening.

.i used Christmas Designs to create the journal page, envelops and cards

 

Whatcha? how-to

 

 

.prepared individual envelops with cards

.decoRate the cards with Rhonna Designs Merry Christmas Seals & Flags

.attached envelops to the individual page

.back page will be use for photos during the dinner

.used the Accucut Album 5x8 for the journal page

 

.used the Accucut Envelope A6 and Liner

cReate your personalized Guestbook for your

upcoming intimate dinners or lunches …

then once the photos are ready, just add-in to the journal page

 

well, everybody truly enjoyed and had fun …

… and simply treasured the moments

of the perfect evening

let's gLam up our Guestbook with fab Rhonna Designs

This & That Christmas … with Echo Park Paper

 

I was about to do my usual Advent Calendar …

Kinda like - peeky peeky peek … surprise!

then, it made me think of doing something different this time.

Whatcha? 

[TTC38009 Christmas Countdown and TTC38013 Journaling Cards]

 Advent Calendar mini book

{as a personal "reflection" mini book}

not the usual but unusual … yes, you got it - a mini book …

something special and personal.

I have made 3 mini books … {1-8}, {9-16}, and {17-25}

each day is something inspiring …

either a photo, sayings or quotes, wish … just anything.

Of course, no peeking in advance … just one page a day –

then close the book and smile!

 

Check out the entire This & That Christmas collection at Paper Lane.

It is nice to have a personalized gift …

and this Advent Calendar Mini Album is just perfect.

in the meantime, kinda busy preparing few upcoming dinners and lunches 

for this month ...

for my guests ...

[background]

i brought along with me the Journaling cards while on vacation

so whatever I was thinking while sipping my piña colada,

I just randomly write it down

And I loved it

  [get messy]

I created the background with gesso, sponged it with acrylic paints,

distressed the edges and use a decoupageish technique 

 rant! rant! noise! overloaded with ideas ...

blah! blah! got it write it down ...

thoughts are flippin' with awesome ideas.

 

... the process was overwhelming,

after all the hustle and bustle at "work"

it was amazingly ...

and I am truly ...

Got a challenge this time … while designing the page and inspiration for everybody …

{wanna know?}

easy peasy …

I decided to do Back To Basics … Traditional …

Easy and Simple

Only the paper collections and sticker elements.

I did not use any mixed media(ish) effects

awesome!

awesome!

I truly enjoyed it {jump! jump!}and also the original design was not to put any photos …

gotcha! yes, but I did …

 

Hello Summer

{hello summer, surfer girl!}

  

I just cut all the details that I wanted to use

and do the mix n' match with the sticker elements.

  

What's next?

Are you up to for a personalized Postcard?

In my previous post here, I have created a Postcard Journal Album.

I love postcards … and I love to make my own "postcards"

or simply a postcard template for a menucard or invitation card …

anything at all.

I am just loving the flippies ... gorgeous!
